io.github.mikhae1/kubeviewv2.0.1Kubernetes

Read-only Model Context Protocol MCP server enabling code-driven AI analysis of Kubernetes clusters.

The current version, v2.0.1, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-09-02. It is distributed as kubeview-mcp on npm, filed under Kubernetes by this index, and declares 24 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

In-path gate · all MCP tools

Using io.github.mikhae1/kubeview in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Install the mcpindex gate (one command)

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

Limits of this verdict

- Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
- Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
- advisory
- registry description only no input schema
- Still current: the description we screened is unchanged, re-checked against the registry
- The registry listing (version, packages, links) changed after this screen ran - the description we assessed did not

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-09-14).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins io.github.mikhae1/kubeview’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

Cite this record

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

Environment variables

KUBECONFIG

Path to kubeconfig file; defaults to ~/.kube/config if unset.

MCP_TRANSPORT

Transport mode: 'stdio' (default) or 'http'. The published package metadata still targets stdio by default.

MCP_MODE

Server mode: 'code' (default), compatibility alias 'all', or direct 'tools'.

MCP_CODE_MODE_DISABLED_TOOLS

Comma-separated configurable denials inside run_code. Environment overrides JSON; an empty value enables all configurable capabilities.

MCP_ARGO_TOOLS

Argo Workflows capability override: auto, on, or off. Auto uses Kubernetes API discovery.

MCP_ARGOCD_TOOLS

Argo CD capability override: auto, on, or off. Auto uses Kubernetes API discovery or explicit remote configuration.

MCP_LOG_LEVEL

Logging level: 'error', 'warn', 'info' (default), or 'debug'.

MCP_KUBE_CONTEXT

Kubernetes context name to use. If unset, uses the current context from kubeconfig.

MCP_K8S_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY

Skip TLS certificate verification for Kubernetes API (use 'true' or '1'). Not recommended for production.

MCP_HIDE_SENSITIVE

Enable global sensitive data masking. Set to 'true' or '1' to mask sensitive values in responses.

MCP_TIMEOUT

Default timeout in milliseconds for operations. If unset, uses plugin-specific defaults.

MCP_HTTP_HOST

HTTP bind host when MCP_TRANSPORT=http. Defaults to 127.0.0.1.

MCP_HTTP_PORT

HTTP port when MCP_TRANSPORT=http. Defaults to 3000.

MCP_HTTP_PATH

HTTP endpoint path when MCP_TRANSPORT=http. Defaults to /mcp.

MCP_HTTP_JSON_RESPONSE

Prefer JSON responses over SSE in HTTP mode. Set to 'true' or '1' to enable.

MCP_APPROVAL_STATE_SECRET

secret

Shared secret of at least 32 bytes for signing approval state. Required in HTTP mode and identical across replicas.

MCP_APPROVAL_REPLAY_DIR

Absolute directory on writable storage shared by every HTTP replica, used to atomically prevent approval replay.

MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS

Comma-separated Host allowlist for HTTP mode. Required when binding to 0.0.0.0 or ::.

MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS

Comma-separated Origin allowlist for HTTP mode.

KUBE_MCP_FORCE_VM_SANDBOX

Force the standalone code-mode runtime to use node:vm instead of isolated-vm. Set to '1' to enable.

MCP_DISABLE_KUBERNETES_PLUGIN

Disable Kubernetes plugin. Set to 'true' or '1' to disable.

MCP_DISABLE_HELM_PLUGIN

Disable Helm plugin. Set to 'true' or '1' to disable.

MCP_DISABLE_ARGO_PLUGIN

Deprecated alias for MCP_ARGO_TOOLS=off.

MCP_DISABLE_ARGOCD_PLUGIN

Deprecated alias for MCP_ARGOCD_TOOLS=off.

Provenance

Each verdict is bound to a hash of the exact description it judged, so a re-crawl that changes the text produces a new record rather than silently inheriting this one. Verdict history is hash-chained and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps (latest confirmed at block 966,915). Verify it yourself.
